Happy National Day, Saudi Arabia!

J'aime beaucoup la Musique Classique

The more I listen, the more I get into it. Very relaxing, like walking in the clouds. And for some reason, I rarely find people who love this kind of music! Isn't it weird? I mean I love all kinds of Music. YES, ALL! but I must say, that Classical Music is my favorite!
Classics always lift me up when I feel down, it fits my personality, there are so many emotions heard and felt when classical music is played, It's an Art, It's my passion. I think that Classical music is the most refined form of music and the one has been speaking to people for hundreds of years, and few can relate to that!

Here are some of my favorites:

Air on the G string - August Wilhelmj.
Air - Johann Sebastian Bach.
Lux Aeterna (Two Towers Remix) - Clint Mansell (Requiem for a Dream)
Canon in D (very full orchestration) - Johann Pachelbel.
Romeo and Juliet (Love Theme) - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Ronin - Hans Zimmer.
The Nutcracker - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The Four Seasons - Vivaldi.
The way of th Sword - Hans Zimmer.
Ode to Joy - Ludwig van Beethoven.
Moonlight - Ludwig van Beethoven.
A hard Teacher - Hans Zimmer.
To know my Enemy - Hans Zimmer.
The Requiem Mass in D minor - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Eine kleine Nachtmusik - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Violin Concerto No. 3 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The 1812 Overture - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
A small measure of peace - Hans Zimmer.
The Swan Lake - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Symphony No. 5 - Ludwig van Beethoven.

and the list goes on...

What about you?

Je suis désolé

Dear Blog,

I'm terribly sorry for just the thought of deleting you! It's been ages. And I miss you so bad. I need to tell you a lot of things about me. I've been questioning myself lately. I kept myself busy with my foolish thoughts. But i'm feeling much better now, and i'll be posting again :)

Beyond the veil

I was just reading an article about "The Fatwa Wars" on Asharq Alawsat.com by Ahmed Al-Rabei.

Seriously! I'm getting confused. Why are they doing this to us? Is it a game?Swear to God, they're getting on my nerves! The middle east is getting more and more "masculinized" in the name of Islam!

Has anyone of you watched the "Al Hadath" show on LBC on Sunday?It was about Saudi TV hostesses! can you believe it? out of all the important "issues" we have, they picked this topic! now what's wrong with Saudi hostess?! One of the guestes -Shaikh- said that "TV hostesses want to appear on TV just to show their bodies!"

CAN YOU BLELIEVE THIS GUY! and he kept going on saying that Saudis have a "khosuseyya!"

The Saudi woman is smart, well-educated, and need to be given the chance to prove that she's as good as any other man! here are some of my favourites:-

Dr. Selwa Al-Hazzaa: "The first Saudi woman to win the prestigious award for excelling in a male-dominated bastion of medical sciences and community service and one of the most powerful Arab women in 2005 by Forbes Arabia, the Dubai-based Arabic edition of the world-renowned business and financial magazine Forbes, it comes as no surprise that Dr Selwa Al-Hazzaa, a Saudi doctor who is head of ophthalmology at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh and runs the most prestigious ophthalmology clinic in the city, is a pioneer in her field and an outspoken women's advocate who promotes her country and its women with pride"

- Dr. Hayat Sindi: "A leading Saudi medical researcher who was born in Mecca. She has invented a machine combining the effects of light and ultra-sound for use in the esoteric field of biotechnology. Her major project is being carried out in partnership with the universities of Exeter and Cambridge. She is the only Arab woman in the field of biotechnology."

- Lubna Olayan: click on name

- Dr. Thoraya Ahmed Obaid: "The executive director of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and was the first Saudi Arabian woman to receive a government scholarship to study at a university in the United States where she received a PhD. in English Literature from Wayne State University. She has had a distinguished career within the United Nations helping governments to establish women and development programs, and is respected leader in the international community forging a new global population agenda."

- Dr. Ilham Abuljadayel: " Biotech scientist and the sole inventor of the TriStem Technology. She discovered an infallible and cheap technique for changing white blood cells into perfect, pluripotent stem cells – the gold standard of stem-cell values."

Dr. Nahid Taher, our first woman bank CEO

Dr. Lama Al Sulaiman, Board of Directors, Jaddah Chamber of Commerce

Dr. Noura Al-Asheikh, head of the Women's Department at the Ministry of Social Affairs; along with Jowhara Al-Anqari and Dr. Suhaila Zain Al-Abideen, both prominent members of the National Society for Human Rights.

Dr. Hanan Al-Ahmedi, head of the Women's Department at the Saudi Management Society and ALOT more!

You see, I LOVE my country, and Saudi Arabia is actually changing and developing educationally, economically, and socially! why take us 100 years back? now that's my eternal question!
